Hello Folks

Hi There Everyone,

I hope you had a good day today. I went to work and went to staff meetings - fun, huh? Well, in a way it was, because working with people you enjoy being around can be fun...when you make it fun.

For Wednesday....please bring in a portfolio binder if you have not done so. Don't make me send a note home. Sheesh. Bring in the draft of your cover letter. It can be handwritten or typed, but a typed copy is preferred. Remember to look at about.com if you need help. We'll finalize a workable resume as well.

There are some job shadowing opportunities coming up. See me if you're interested in:

-Member Services & Administrative Offices
-OB/GYN & Maternal/Child Services
-Facilities Services & Materials Service
-Inpatient Lab Services and Radiology
-Eye-care Services and Physical Therapy

For now....GHS Seniors only for the LPC meeting that starts during homeroom on Wednesday. FHS, LHS and DHS -Check with your career center specialists for LPC visits and information.

You'll need the med term packet and the managed care glossary in your binder - please show up to class prepared with your materials and your time sheet! Some of you did not turn in the career research paper, time sheet and/or the CMA exam examination study outline - see me on Wednesday before class, during break or after class and let's talk about it. Be brave and own up to it, the truth will set you free!

Thanks for another great week of great effort at your community classroom site.

See you Wednesday,

~Mrs. Erceg

Still trying....

Hi Everyone,

Blogger isn't working well, so here is one more try to give you some reminders...

Please bring in your timesheet(s), the evaluation from your supervisor/colleague, and the 1-inch white binder (with a plastic window on the front) and five (5) sheet protectors.

We will work on the packets that I gave you last week - medical terminology and managed care glossary. How is your career research assignment coming along? Have you found someone to interview? Please forward the questions in advance if possible. This will make the interview go a lot smoother.

Take care and I'll see you tomorrow. Keep up the great work at your site!

Happy New Year and Welcome Back !

Hi Everyone,

Welcome back. I hope you had a great holiday vacation. I had a nice time with family and friends. I also thought about you all and your well-deserved time off.

I know some of you volunteered at your community classroom sites during the past two weeks. If you did, please keep your time sheet with you when you arrive on Wednesday and your extra hours will be posted on the back. Great job folks. I'm sure your time was appreciated!

I had the pleasure of visiting many of you today. I will see the rest of you this week. Keep thinking about strategies on increasing your knowledge and responsibilities at your site.

Have your time sheets signed right away and have them ready to turn in on Wednesday. Please do not leave them in your car...or at your site!

Please talk to your supervisors about the student evaluation due on January 14th. Prepare them in advance so you can collect it on January 12th. This is applied to your grade (having turned it in on time).

AXIS Community Health Interns: This Saturday, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., there will be a fast-paced pediatric immunization clinic. If you would like to volunteer one to four hours of your time, please see talk to me and I'll make the arrangements.

Upcoming assignments: 1. Current task list to add to my documentation of visits.
2. Career research assignment. (Interview required)

Have a wonderful evening and get plenty of good nutrition and rest.
